[QUOTE="The_Universe, post: 1743048, member: 8944"] Uh...still working. Now, if I got paid to do this, all would be much faster....as of now, however, I am still workin' on an update that we all can love. I wouldn't want to put out a less than stellar product in the interest of speed. ;) Until then, I leave you with this: [i]Lightning flashed in the doorway, screaming daylight breaking through the heavy cover of night. In the split second of false sunlight, a single obsidian figure filled the long-empty portal. A man-shaped piece of midnight lurched forward, Shadow itself fighting into the fireglow of the tavern. [/i] [i]Not a man. A woman. [/i] [i]Ivory tresses hung limp against her ebon face, a stark contrast to the blood on her arms, and the darkness of her uniform. She took a single, hesitant step forward. Then, eyes rolling back into her head, she collapsed to her knees, as if her bones had suddenly fled. [/i] [i]Over the stunned silence of the tavern, she could be heard, muttering. Like a tide of words, her voice grew stronger, washing over the stunned onlookers. It was a fulfillment of the oft-whispered portents of doom. Even as she seemed to wither before their eyes, her voice continued to grow, filling the rough-hewn rafters of the common room.[/i] [i]Rising into a screaming crescendo from some unseen agony, there could be no mistake as to what she bellowed. Her soul seemed to flee with the word, leaving the body lifeless in its fearful wake. They would all remember, for it was this one word that shaped their lives from this point forward.[/i] "PIRATES!" [i]the dead woman had screamed. Now, she lay dead. And then the world exploded into madness.[/i] [/QUOTE]
